Well done to Emily Farrell transition year who competed in the All Ireland final of the Soroptimists Public speaking competition on Saturday March 5th which was held in the Mansion house Dublin. Emily was one of eight National finalists and she spoke on the topic of "Empowering Women". She performed very well on the day, delivering a flawless "Prepared" speech and also excelling in her "Impromptu" speech on the topic " being young is over -rated".One overall winner was announced and even though Emily did not take home the trophy on this occasion, we are all very proud of her achievement in getting this far in the competition and the way in which she represented the school. Sincere thanks also to Ms. Gaffney who worked with Emily as she prepared for the competition and Ms. Donohue and Ms Cribbin who accompanied Emily on the day.
